Zippo U.S. Vintage Grand Finale

The checker flag dropped on the Zippo U.S. Vintage Grand Prix and brought an
end to another exciting season at The Soul of American Road Racing. Fans were
treated to garage, paddock and grandstand access each day and had several
opportunities to speak with accomplished endurance driver Derek Bell. A total of
487 vintage and historic cars provided vintage race fans with plenty of on-track
excitement throughout the weekend.

The highlight of the weekend was the 40th Anniversary of Can-Am and Trans-Am
and neither race disappointed. John Burke of Rumson, NJ, drove his 1972 McLaren
MSF to victory in the 40th Anniversary Can-Am Championship New York Governor's
Cup race by edging out the 1967 Lola T70 MkIII driven by Hamish Somerville of
New Milford, CT, by 0.333 seconds. In the Trans-Am feature race, Chris
Liebenberg of Boyertown, PA, skillfully used his 1969 Ford Boss 302 to hold off
the 1970 Ford Boss 302 driven by Forrest Straight of Mr. View, CA by 0.614
seconds.

The 2006 season was filled with excitement from beginning to end. The season
was highlighted by victories by Scott Dixon in the IndyCar Series Watkins Glen
Indy Grand Prix presented by Tissot and Kevin Harvick in the NASCAR NEXTEL Cup
AMD of The Glen races. Race fans were treated to a great season of racing in
2006 and The Glen is looking forward to providing that excitement again in 2007.
